Okay, I took my first stab at making a video tutorial. I have never made a video before for anything so please forgive my narration and my nerves.

I used a trial version of a capture program which will show its watermark on the top right of the screen. shouldn't be too much of a problem though.

I am going to build Aloha Stadium from the ground up using Clem's Diagram. Below are the parts of my video tutorials:

Part 1 includes: View here

- Importing the diagram
- Scaling the diagram
- Outlining the playing area
- creating the fences
- using the "follow-me" tool to create the stands
- Cleaning up the dugout areas and other parts of the park

Part 2 includes: View Here
- Create faces for CF scoreboard
- Fix Outfield Fence Face for future texturing
- Open up center field back wall below roof
- place supports between roof and upper deck

Part 3 includes: View Here

- Painting Textures
- Importing and Re-sizing textures

Here is the link to download my stadium textures folder and its sub-folders

Download silvam14's Stadium Texture pack

Remember to add the folder to your collection in sketchup so it loads up every time

Part 4 includes: View Here

- Exporting the model from sketchup to an .obj (download sketchup plugin objexporter here) Install plugin here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\SketchUp\SketchUp 2016\ShippedExtensions
- Importing and testing the stadium in OOTP19 (fixing anything wrong)
- Configuring the 3D crowd and testing in OOTP19
- Creating the 2D diagram
- Creating the 2D Day and Night Photos
- Setting The 3D Grid and wall markers
- Setting 2D Ball locations
- Creating park factors
- exporting park .prk file

Take a look and let me know what you think. Feedback is welcome.
